Custody

Fawn is so great! She not only fights for me, she calms my worries regarding custody. I don’t know where I’d be without her and never need another great lawyer for me again because there are known except her. I’ve admired her hard work and you should too!!

Litigation/custody matters

Where do I start? With less than ideal circumstances during this pandemic, Fawn has been able to be there by my side literally every step of the way. Whether it be the pre trial negotiations with opposing counsel or the daily hiccups with my sons mother, she provided me with knowledge, guidance, hone...sty, and an uncanny ability to maneuver during these weird times we are in. She was there for every video conference and represented me exactly how anyone would want to be represented. I cant say enough about how she makes her clients a top priority and never did I ever feel otherwise during the entire process. I highly recommend to anybody who thinks they could benefit from results to at least get a consultation from Fawn and trust in her to have your back.

Excellent Service!

Fawn was an absolute blessing to my family during my divorce and child custody hearings. She was extremely knowledgeable, offered me a few options of how to approach the situation, and was always a phone call away. We continue to stay in touch and knowing she is always on my side if I would need he...r helps me sleep at night!

Reliable, Fast, and knowledgeable

While I was extremely worried about my case and outcomes, I was given the correct information and I didn't have to worry as much as I was because I was in good hands!

Awesome lawyer!!

We worked with Fawn in a custody matter that she came in for at the end of a two year battle. We worked together to get all the facts out and she went into every hearing, conference and trial knowledgable and ready 100%. She went above and beyond for us and wasnt just out lawyer. She became someon...e we trusted and could count on! She had many sleepless nights and emotion in our case like we searched and searched for in an attorney for years!! We will never use another attorney's services and will ALWAYS recommend her to anyone in need!! Thank you Fawn for your efforts and 100% commitment in trying to help us get the kids back under one roof and reunited with there father!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
